Abortion Bias Article

Article

  • use of bold texts to highlight negative aspects of abortion -> "bias by headline"
  • very religious ideology
  • does not consider people who need it
  • use of picture of a sad child with the comment saying "When will abortion stop?", this is an attempt to appeal to peoples pathos and make them sympathize with the children and make people feel bad for the people supportive of abortion
  • negative tone
  • bias through selection and omission,  the entire article only portrays the negative aspecs of the topic, it does not provide an insight into the lives of certain families/people that cannot provide for the child or cannot endure childbirth, or have whatever reason to abort the unborn child. since it should be the woman's choice 
  • religious ideology 
  • "bias by source control" : throughout the text many statistics and facts are provided in order for the reader to feel like the article is more valid

Rewrite:

Reasons Why Abortion Should be Pro-Choice
Since the legalization of abortion in 1973, over 56 million unborn fetuses have been aborted, for reasons we may not understand.

By the time you finish reading this article, a few more families/parents may decide that they cannot handle a childbirth and will abort it. which is okay.

is it anyone else's business whether another family does not want to have a child? NO.
so please read the top few reasons why abortion is okay and no one else's business besides the own family.

1. Money
Abortion should be heavily funded, if a woman cannot afford her own abortion she definitely cannot afford to support herself and raise a child with that certain income. Many of the women who accidentally get pregnant may need help eliminating the child, for getting an abortion is infact very expensive for the family, and would most likely not have the support of her family.

2. Abuse
Many women may have been sexually abused or unconsentually been impregenated. In cases like these the government sometimes may allow an abortion, but many other instances they do not, and the mother is forced to raise a child representing a difficult time in her life.

3. Safety concerns
Many people opposing abortion argue of its unsafety, but do they consider the danger of actual childbirth? and pregnancy? a simple short surgery would be less painful than the suffering for 9 months followed by a natural childbirth, or a sea-section, which carries far more risks.

In conclusion abortion should be a woman's choice and no one else besides the mother herself should be able to determine whether she wants a child or not, it is her body, and she will face the consequences. Although abortion is not ideal, many people should at least be given the choice.
